Many vehicle owners often wonder, how fast is my car? However, racing on public streets is unsafe. So, I have built an interactive tool based on the MTCARS dataset allowing users to project how fast their car can drive 1/4 mile, virtually.

Many vehicle advertisements imply that horsepower equates to speed, and indeed we see a relationship
But power isn’t everything! Here we see that the vehicle’s weight, as well as its power, is related to its speed.
The app takes inputs from the user and uses a model built on MTCARS data to predict the speed.
To explore the app, the user merely has to input 2 input variables:
The app then plots and returns the prediction.
Have fun exploring!
